LONDON : TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 6, 1833. In the HOUSE of LORDS last night two petitions and some papers were laid on the table; a question asked was un answered, and then their Lordships' heard Mr. Roebuck at the Bar against the Canada Government Bill. The House • assumed a somewhat animated and novel appearance. No sooner was Mr. Roebuck ordered to be called in than several Peers quitted their usual scats and stationed themselves on the benches near the Bar. Sir Wm. Molcsworth and several Hon. Members of the other House, whose opinions upon the Canada question are in accordance with those advocated by Mr. Roebuck, were present during the whole evening. For the Learned Gentleman's speech, the delivery or which occupied two hours, we refer to our l'arliameniary re port. At its conclusion, Lord BROUGH Am stated that it was probable that at a future stage oc. the Bill, he should trove that Mr. Roebuck be allo-med to examine witnesses at the Bar, to prove the allega':ions in his address. The Bill was then committed and reported, and the third reading was fixed for Thursday. The Earl of AnEatr:,as inquired if Sir John Colborne would bare authority to, ".iarry the provisions of the Bill into effect before the ar'' . .val of Lord DURHAM in Canada. Lord cLENELo replied, that Sir John Colborne would have a. discretionary power to enforce the provisions of the Act,, if he thought necessary , b e f ore t h e arrival of Earl bran Am. The House adjourned at Eight o'clock. In the HOUSE OF COMMONS a larger than ordinary number 'of Petitions were presented from various parts of the country for the attainment of the Ballot, and of other objects more or less conducive to good Government, and to the carrying out the principles of earnest and real Reformers. We refer to some of them with satisfaction as evidences at once of the wants of the country, and of a growing determinetion upon the part of the people to obtain their just and rz,asonable demands. In answer to a question cut by Lord EBRINGTON, alluding to the recent less of the KU/iv-net/ steamer, Mr. P. THomsoN said, that the Governta-,nt had not had time to investigate the circumstances ; bur that it was unquestionably of the greatest importance to a',certain, whether in regard to steam-boats ge nerally somP restrictions could not be made as to the quantity of live stack shipped on board those vsssels, similiar to those restrie':ions which existed in regard to other passage-boats. ran the motion of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, the Order of the Day for the second reading of the Poor Relief (Ireland) Bill 'was read. A discussion followed in which Mr. O'Connell said that he should oppose the Bill on going into Committee ; and amongst other rat h er remarkable assertions, the Learned Gentlman declared that " Ireland was too poor for a Pc , r Law !" On the Order of the Day for committing the 1 3 7.rliamentary Electors and Freemen's Bill, some interesting discussion en sued, which, in connection with M. Dl.lNcomtsg's amendment for getting rid of some of the 'many existing impediments to a free and fair representat;;rn of the community at large, we have noticed in a sepa':ate article. Mr. LABOUCHE?"& move d, in Committee, a resolution to the ex eff amineect that leav , .. should be gi ven to him to bring in a Bill to the regulations of the coal-market in the metropolis. The Court of Session (Scotland) Bill went through Corn mittcn. 'On the motion of Mr. WARBURTON the Members' Qualifica tion Bill was read a second time, and committed for Thursday The House adjourned shortly before Twelve o'Clock. Th ie reason which Lord BROUGHAM has given or not supporting Ministers, and which Lord MEL ; OURNE'S indiscreet attack rather unfortunately for: hien elicited, is another proof of the miscleievous ffects of Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S declarations re "pecting th e B a ll ot. " Let them, " said his Lordship, retract their declaration against Reform, or let them ithout any retracte.tion bring forward Liberal and Con stitutional measures, they will have no more zealous supporter t'nan myself." This avowal is responded to y every Reformer throughout the country. Re , otmers became lukewarm in their support of the Iklinistry previous to the meeting of Parliament, and n proportion as the Cabinet had cooled in their ardour for Reform, the unexpected denouncement of the ,Ballot, the praise of the Constituency amidst rich the tenants at will make such a conspicuous 'gum, and the animadversions made by the Home k‘ecretary on that very class that carried the Reform :ill and restored the present men to office, have sunk deep into the minds of all who three years ago ardently prayed for their success. Never /was more determined or more cordial support given to a Statesman by the people, than that given to Lord MELBOURNE after he was ejected from office in 1834 ; and Lord BROUGHAM certainly never was so effective in the House of Lords as he was while the struggle lasted, and (luring - the whole of the Session of 1835. What. would Ministers do without him in the Lords ?—_ was the universal question ; and what is the caus::: that a very different question is in every mare' s mouth now ?—their declaration against Reform. We call it their declaration—for it was expressed by their organ in the House of Commons, and has never been disowned in either House by one of them. When the Duke of WELLINGTON denounced all Parliamentary Reform, his skilful lieutenant, Sir GEORGE MURRAY, Sa.v; that he had advanced too far, and by professions and manoeuvres prepared for retreat; but ne, one, not even Mr. ELLICE, has volun teered the same aid to Lord JOHN RUSSELL. The two periods too are not dissimilar. The ex citement in favour of Reform, in 1830, was great, and WELLINGTON'S declaration carried it to excess. The scenes of intimidation, bribery, and corruption, that took place during the last election made thou sands of converts to the Ballot, and after the srech of Lord JOHN RUSSELL at Stroud, after his voltm tary-statement that he proposed the Ballot in the ori ginal Raorin 1 1 2:11, and after his repeated declarations that if intimidation and bribery should be found to defeat the free exercise of the elective franchise, the peor:le would have no remedy but the Ballot, could any Member say the Duke of WELLINGTON showed more want of discretion in 1830 than his Lordship allowed in 1837, when he not only denounced the 3allot, but bestowed his praises on those intelligent constitweeits whose representatives have ever opposed him in every great measure of Reform? Never did the declaration of a public man give such a shock to Reformers. That of the Duke of WELLINGTON came from an enemy, but this came from a friend, 4 1 1 d at the unpropitious period too when thou sands, after supporting a Reforgi Ministry for seven years, were suffering under the persecution, the indignities, and the losses caused by Tory landlords and Tory customers ; on the former oc casion HENRY BROUGHAM was the great leader in the cause of Reform in the House of Commons, and by a singular coincidence, added to the strange conduct of his former colleagues, he is now the promi nent leader in the same cause in the House of Lords. For the sake of the country, and for the security of the Ministry, we earnestly hope the evil is not without remedy. None but Lord JOHN RUSSELL has corn- Eitted himself—several cannot alter declared opinions ithout loss of character and the loss of their scats at e next election—the cry for the Ballot was never so loud or general, and no motion for this Session will b e look e d to w i t h suc h anx i et y as th a t which Mr. G ROTE brings on next week. The Irish Poor-law Bill was read a second time in the House of Commons last night, after sustaining a fierce attack from Mr. O'CoNNELL. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman neutralized his opposition by openly declaring himself altogether opposed to the principle of any Poor-law that would give food and shelter to the indigent, but not diseased, poor of Ire land. He had no objection to physicking the starving gratis, but he would not entertain the principle of fill ing their bellies with wholesome food. As we stated yesterday, the etarving poor of Ireland are greatly to be pitied► The RODENS are for cramming them with Bibles, and the O ' CONNELL s with bolusscs. Wherefore are the wretched poor immoral and diseased? Simply because they have nothing wherewith'•. '.i") sate the cravings of hunger. Take mtasurcs for filling Lheir bellies, and covering their backs, and they will want less physic, and pay more regard to the moral doctrines contained in the Sacred Volume. The real cause df their guilt, ignorance, and disease, is indigence —is a want of the simple necessaries of life. We thank Mr. O'CONNELL for dealing thus openly wit-h the friends and supporters of this important and truly necessary measure. It will save them a world of trouble in Committee, because it will convince them that no Bill fur such an object would have his support. On the motion of Lord BROVGHA.NI, M. ROE BUCK was heard at the Bar (2f #A , A-: House of Lords 47z:nada Bill. Th e L earne l last night, against the. Gentleman's s' i ;eec:ll , --which occupied two hours and a half in tie delivery—was only distinguished from the ration previously delivered by him at the Bar of the House of Commons, by being more temperate in its general tone, although not entirely exempt from grossly offensive personality. Nothing could be more ill judged than the wanton attack made by the Learned Gentleman upon Lord GLENELG-wanton, because he did not support it with the shadow of a proof. 'We have never been admirers of the Colonial policy of the Noble Secretary ; but solemnly to charge him with being the author of all the calamities which have befallen the Canadas—personally to in voke upon his Lordship's head the vengeance of his Peers for having disturbed the peace of the empire-- for having led t o slaughter her peaceful citizens—is 1.7. act for,which nothing short of insanity could con stitute a plea of justification. The bitterness with which Mr. ROEBUCK allowed himself to speak of the conduct of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, a member of the Government who could not be sup posed to be present, and who, whether or no, could not defend himself in that assembly, went far to neu tralize the favourable impression which the commence ment of his speech seemed to make upon the House. He was, however, heard throughout with marked at tention ; their Lordships being prudently solicitous to avoid the manifestation of anything like weariness while the reresentativc of a colony was pleading its cati:ac at their bar. Lord BROUGHAM was the only Peer who subsequently made the slightest allu sion to the speech of the Learned Gentleman, whose efforts failed to provoke so much as a discussion on the Bill, which went through Committee without an amendment, and stands for a third reading on Thurs day. Further opposition to the measure, in Parlia ment or by the Press, being now useless, we shall henceforth be silent upon it until we see the result of its practical operation. We oppose no part of the policy of the Government from factious motives, and therefore we are willing to allow Ministerial measures which have become laws a fair trial—however strongly we may have resisted their enactment while before the Legislature. The following is an extract from the Protest of the Lords (October 31, 1776) quoted by Mr. ROEBUCK at the conclusion of his speech last night : " That whilst we lament the effusion of English blood (which we hope has not been greater, or other than necessity required and honour justified), we should most heartily con gratulate his Majesty on any event leading to the great and desirable end of settling a peace, which might promi se t o l as t, by the restoration of th e ancient affection which has happily subsisted between this kingdom and its colonies. Any other would necessarily require, even in case of a total conquest, an army to maintain, ruinous to the finances, and incompatible with the freedom of his Majesty's people. We should look with the utmost shame and horror on any events, of what nature soever, that should tend to break the spirit of any large part of the British nation ; to bow them down to an abject and unconditional submission to any power whatsoever; to annihilate their liberties and to sub due them to 'servile principles and passive habits, by the mere force of mercenary arms. Because, amidst the excesses and abuses which have happened, we must respect the spirit and the principles operating in these commotions—our wish is to regulate, not to destroy them. For though differing in some circumstances, these very principles bear so exact an analogy with those which support the most valuable part of our own Constitution, that it is impossible, with any appearance of justice, to think of wholly extirpating them by the sword in any part of his Majesty's dominions, without admitting con sequences and establishing precedents the most dangerous to the liberties of this kingdom."—Richmond, Devonshire, Port land, Manchester, Rockingham, Scarborough, King, Craven, Fitzwilliam, Abingdon, De Fcrrcrs, Effingham, Abergavenny, Ponsonby. Mr. LAnouctiEnE, it will he seen, made his mo tion last night for a Committee on the Coal trade, and got leave to bring in " A Bill to continue an Act re gulating the vending and delivery of Coals in London, Westminster, Southwark, and places adjacent in. Sur rey ;" at the same time stating that it was his inten tion to move that the Committee " have power to alter and ar,►end the Bill." If the friends of the poor bestir themse!ves, they have now an opportunity of effecting great good, by pouring in petitions for a change of the system. It appears that the sensation our exposure ~f the coal monopoly and its most inhuman conse quences, has created, is not confined to Parliament, but that the Court of Aldermen are becoming a little more alive to the subject. A paragraph in the Observer intimates this change, and at the same time expresses its confidence that the " worthy" Aldermen will see that justice be done. Their conduct must be very different before we can join in such confidence, or the public either. A smart discussion took place last night in the House of Commons on the Parliamentary Electors and Freemen's Bill. The Tories were exceedingly anxious that the Bill should be divided into two Bills, as they, poor, dim-sighted gentlemen, could not for the life of them, see any possible connection between relief to the freemen and relief to the ten pounders. Their purpose is too easily seen through to be succcssfnl. The free men arc their peculiar favouritcs—their pets. This rotten portion of the constituency they know they can always command, by " coming down," in due sea son, with the Mammon of unrighteousness ; and they therefore support, with all their energies, that part of the Bill which has for its object to increase and mul tiply freemen—at least so far as giving every facility to their admission to the freedom of boroughs has this effect. For the ten-pound voters—that is to say, for all the respectable portion of the borough con stituency—they have no such love. They find them stubborn, and difficult to deal with ; though in some cases capable of being influenced by inte rested motives, yet in the main a very untractable set of people ; and instead of facilitating the augmenta tion of their number, they have done, and will do, all they can to oppose any relaxation of those clauses in the Reform Bill which operate so disadvan tageously for that class of voters. It is found, by experience, that the rate-paying clause of the Reform Bill disfranchises thousands and tens of thousands of persons against whom there is no other objection than that they have not paid up their rates and taxes to the sth of April —and this not from in ability to satisfy these claims, but from inadvertence, or from the Collector's not having done his duty in calling for payment in proper time. Can any thing be more preposterous than to deprive a , man of a political right on such grounds ? Is the non-payment of a tax, in such cases, or in any case, a proof of insolvency ? How will those who gabble so much about a strict adherence to the letter of this clause as almost necessary to the preserva tion of the Monarchy, feel, when the Assessed Taxes— • those of them, at least, that press upon the lower classes—arc repealed, as we hope they soon will he, and the Poor-rate is reduced to a more trifle, compared to what it was when the Reform Bill was passed ') All must surely go to - anu ruin them if it b e now s o `.7.7i l ,rerons to give !ht; Ora& six months additional credit lot his rates: But we say, as we hue , atWays maintained, that the payment of rates aria taxes is entirely a tuatitvr between the payer and the collector, The 6* 1%.v3 mined the latter with beret to eprotet tdaim. If this power is net enough, give hittl more ; but let him not have thelrivilego ) Its he has at pi•escut, of disfranchisin g the elector by a 1a.24 and it may be, a dishonest di s . charge of duties. Nothing won hy of ettltitt. 4 kr notice occurred during the debate. is Vi , as no ways singular to sec Colonel SxArtt`ltr " standing forward belilly in behalf of those injured individualit (tt , e i' reem " !) whose cha racter he wa-s tVere ready to defend." There is no thing) We say, uncommon in this foe when was there a criminal condemned (tt, the Old Bailey who could not find a friend to come forward boldly and defend the cha racter of the " injured individual ?" LordJ. RUSSELL said he could not agree to Mr. DUNCOMBE'S amendment, Which did away with these payments as a qualification, because it differedfr,mt the Worm Bill. This argu ment, if it be one, makes against any charge in that Bill, and consequently against this very measure, which he is himself carrying through the House. We suppose, however, that the Noble Lord looks upon the one change as a matter of principle—on the other, as one of detail; as he stated in a subsequent part of the discussion, that " he had always contended that the principle of the Reform Bill should be main tamed ; but he had never gone so far as to say that there could not possibly be found any defects in that measure, arising from its working, or from the conduct of those vt ho had always been its enemies, and who tried to impede its working in a natural and safe manner.—(Hear, hear.) He should, therefore, be always ready to propose practi cal remedies for such defects." We trust the Noble Lord will consider the Ballot as one of those " practical remedies" which are required for the " natural and safe working" of the Reform Bill. Mr. PRAED remarked that " the payment of a man's just and fair debts afforded a fair test of his respectability," a remark, in the justice of which we heartily concur. But we may ask Mr. PRAED whether, if this test were applied to the representative, as well as to the elector, there would not be (slew Members of the present House of Com mons disqualified for want of respectability Some of the Morning Papers of Saturday committed a mistake in their Parliamentary reports which may have serious consequences. The Times, for example, stated that Lord JOHN RUSSELL gave notice that he intended, on some subsequent day, to move for a vote of 120,000/. or 130,000/., to provide for religious in struction in places where it was required. What Lord JOHN RUSSELL stated was, that by the arrange ments proposed by the Ministers, that sum would he obtained from the revenues of the Church, and was to be devoted to the religious instruc tion of the people in populous places, where the means of instruction are now deficient. Our readers will remember, that relying on the correctness of the Morning Journals, we made some comments on the supposed plan of Lord JOHN RUSSELL to levy a further tax on the people, which we are ex tremely glad to learn had no other existence than in the mistakes of our Contemporaries. It is due to our own report of the proceedings of the House of Commons to say, that what Lord JOHN RUSSELL stated was correctly given. By the arrival of the Neptune steamer at Falmouth from the Tagus on Sunday, we have received advices from Lisbon to the Ist inst. inclusive. The Cortes have recognized the Prince Royal, Don PEDRO D'ALCANTARA as lawful heir to the Crown of Por tugal. The Oporto Bank has refused to be any party to the loan proposed to be granted by the Bank and Merchants of Lisbon to the Government. Up to the hour at which we write (two o'clock, P.M.) the Paris Papers of Sunday have not been received. In the Charte of Saturday evening, we find the following, which includes the whole of the intelligence from Spain : " BATONNE, FEB. 3.

LORD DURHAM AND HIS PRIVATE SEERS TARY.-The English are well known to be a most illogical people, and never to carry out any one principle to all its con sequences. In the case of Lord Durham, for example, they have resolved that he shall go out to Canada with almost un bounded and despotic power. They pass a law to suspend the Constitution of that country, and place all the people at his mercy ; but Lord Glenclg, the apparent and responsible v author of the measu r e, in s isted on f e tt er ing the Noble Earl with detailed instructions, written three months before he could leave England, fixing precisely number of counsellors by which he should be advised, and how they should be se lected. In the same manner the press now will not allow the wan p th ri e va c t o e un se t e ry r h ta a r s y a . rm i e i d e is with to i b m c pe th ri o a r l o p, ; w h thoroughly t a o h absolute s choose over his Canada, but he is not without cur approbation to select the tool to work with. The forthcoming farce, underlined in the Covent garden Bills, is to be called " The Moggs," and is written expressly for Power, by Mr. Calcraft, the Manager of the Dublin Theatrc. Yesterday m o r n ing the STATE OF THE RIVER.— ice was so thick on the Thames, extending from Blackwall to Wapping in almost one continuous field, f, om side to side, that several barges and boats got completely locked in it, and were unable to move one way or the other until t h e t id e e bb ed, an d they were then carried down the stre am . Th e pressure o f the immense body of ice was so gre a t on t h e moor i ng chains that they were breaking every minute, and several tiers got adrift, and many vessels were forced in shore. Between the hours of nine and ten o'clock, the Tourist steamer, to the surprise of every one, was seen drifting up in a body of ice, half a mile in extent, without a single open ing. The whole power of her steam - engines was applied, and two sails were set, to force her through the ice. In the revolution of the wheels the paddle-floats were broken ani damaged, and she could make but little way against the fearful obstruction before her, which was so great when she arrived off the Rotherhithe platform that it was f oun d ne cessary to back her astern, and she laid . off the pl at f orm f or upwards of two hours, stuck fast in the ice. An atte m pt was subsequently made to move her forward again, whe n a tempo rary opening among the fields of ice was visible. Th e steam was set on and she cleared the opening, when she got into the body of the ice again, and stuck fast. Towards th e per i o d o f high water the navigation from Woolwich to Rotherithe was completely stopped. The river presented the appearance of one complete field of snow, which covered the ice beneath it. PRAGUE, JAN.. 20.—1 t is said here, that in conse quence of the accumulation of ice in the Danube the city of Buda is entirely under water. In our neighbourhood a vast quantity of snow has fallen within these three days, and the roads are in such a condition that the arrival of the ma il s is hindered or delayed.

We have received by the steamer Neptune, from Gibraltar and Lisbon, papers from the former place, to the 25th January, and from Lisbon, of the 29th January. The Lisbon papers state that no advance had been made during the week, towards obtaining the loan (mentioned in our last accounts) required by Government, the terms being so exorbitant, that, notwithstanding, their pressing wants, the Cortes will not grant the full power to effect it. In the mean time, the public distress is increas ing daily. The ceremony of recognizing the Crown Prince as heir to the throne of Portugal, was gone through in the Cortes, according to the 103 d arti cle of the Constitution of 1822. It is strongly asserted that a party interested in obtaining the abro gation of the present tobacco contract, has been the main spring of all the agitation and alarm caused by the motion of Senor Jose Esteveo and Senhor Vasconcellos. How far these assertions are true, we arc at a loss to state (say the Lisbon papers) at present; nor can we believe that, in the actual state of Portugal, she can possess men base enough to forward their ow•n personal and selfish views, at the expense of their country. The Gi4rallar Chronicles do not bring so late accounts from the theatre of war in Spain, as received by way of France. They are chiefly filled with Canada news. THE FUNDS.

Fox Maule, in the place of Sir Andrew Leith Hay, is perfectly secure. lie will have a considerable majority in Elgin ; in Banff and Peterhead, three-fourths of the electors have pledged themselves to support him ; and in Invcrury arid Kin tore, there will be only a few votes against him. Indeed, we do not believe that any serious opposition will be offered to his return. Sonie foolish individuals in Elgin have got up a requisition to Mr. Holt Mackenzie; but we have it on good authority that that gentleman will not come forward. The Elgin Tories, we imagine, are envious of the fame of our townsmen, Ilenry Lumsden, and his clique, and have resolved to give us a second edition of the Rossie hoax. But they may spare themselves the trouble ; their efforts at the former election have rendered them sufficiently ridiculous : and there is nothing in their actual position which can enable them to afford us more amusement. Mr. Hilt Mackenzie, whose name has been unnecessarily dragged before the public by the Elgin requisitionists, is a highly respectable gentleman, and not deficient in talent. He stood for the Elgin Burghs i n 1832, and avowed sentiments rather liberal ; but he was de feated by a large majority. In 1834, he again addressed this constituency, but he withdrew from the contest, and his place was occupied by Mr. Brodie of Brodie. —Aberdeen Herald.

The guard procured a gig, and proceeded immediately to Manchester with the bags.

Ills Lordship was occupied the whole morning with the arguments in this case, which came before his Lordship upon appeal from the dcr.ision of the present Master of the Rolls, decl ,ring that the appellant was entitled to the arrears of the annuities granted by Sir Roger Palmer, but without interest. From the statement of Mr. Wakefield, who, together with Mr. Spence and Mr. Wright, were counsel for the appellant, It appeared the late Sir Roger Palmer becoming embarrassed in 1809, granted no less than twenty-eight annuities, all of which became vested for a valuable consideration. Finding that he could not obtain payment of the arrears of the annuities, he filed his bill for the purpose of having the declaration of the Court that he was entitled to the benefit of the annuities and for a receiver. When the case came before the present Master of the Court, he pronounced the order now apt e ded from. Mr. Wakefield had not concluded his address on be:lalf of the ap. pellant when our Reporter left. VICE-CHANCERY.-THIS DAY. Motions of no public interest occupied His Honour the whole morning. QUEEN'S BENCH-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Nisi Prins.) (Before Lord DENMAN and a Common Jury.) TUF. QUEEN V. 611 kW AND OTHERS. This wag an indictment for an assault, and after the Jury ha I teen GWOCII, Mr. EaLE said the matter had been discussed between the prosecutor and the defendants. arid the Court would not be troubled with the de tails of the case. Mr. ADOLPHUS, for the defendants, said the prosecutor had acted wisely in withdrawing the matter, and a verdict was then taken for the defendants. TEDDY V. DODD. Mr. ERI.e stated the case. It was an action brought to recover com pensation for several articles, the property of the plaintiff, which the defendant, it was alleged, had wrongfully converted to his own use. lhe plaintiff had sold the Fishmongers' Arms public-house to a person named Ball, and had lent him a bed, bedstead, bolsters, blankets, coun terpanes, and other articles, to the value of 71 ; when Ball sold the con cern to the defendant the property still remained in the house, and Mr. Dodd had refused to give them up, although at the time he took the house he had received notice that they were the property of the plaintiff: John Blowe deposed that he was living with the plaintiff in the Fish mongers' Arms public-house, which was afterwards sold to Ball, and subsequently to the defendant Doid. When Ball took the house there was a bedstead, bedding, &c. left in one of the apartments. They were not sold to Ball. Atter calling upon the defendant several times, he at length said, if they wcie not valued by his broker to him, he would give them up. When the order was procured from the broker the de fendant refused to give them up. Mr. KELLv, for the defendant, said that he had no objection to a juror being withdrawn, and the articles would be delivered up to the plaintiff on being identified. It was finally arranged that a conditional verdict should be entered for the plaintiff, in the event of the articles not being delivered up. FRAMPTON V. CIIAMPNEV, BART. This was al action to recover the amount of two bills of exchange, one for 301., and the other for 651., drawn and accepted by the slefen dant Sir Thomas Mostyn Champney, Bart. The action was brought by Mr. Frampton, a solicitor, as executor of his brother, James Alex. ander Frampton, also a solicitor, to whom the bills had been passed. The defendant had pleaded that he was not liable, having been dis charged from the Insolvent Debtors' Court in the year 1835. Mr. CHANDLER, for the defendant, upon whom the affirmative plea rested, addressed the Jury, and observed that the whole question turned upon the sufficiency of the entry in the defendant's schedule, in which the plaintiff had been described as Frampton and Co., solicitors of New Inn, and the debt set down, with interest, as 1081. 14s. 6d. Mr. Frampton was certainly a solicitor of New Inn, and was in partnership with two other gentlemen, but the firm went under the name of Home, Frampton, and Loftus. An officer of the Insolvent Court produced the defendant's schedule, in which the entry was as defendant's Counsel had described it, " Messrs. Frampton and Co„ solicitors, New Inn, 1081. 14s. Od." Mr. LOFTUS, one of the firm of Home, Frampton, and Loftus, de posed that they had received a notice from Sir Thomas Champney in 1835, when he was about to take the benefit of the Insolvent Act. He knew of no debt being due to the firm by the defendant. Mr. ERLE having addressed the Jury for the plaintiff, Lord DaNMAN left it to the Jury to say, whether that description in the schedule of the defendant was a correct and proper description of the plaintiff, and of the debt due to him, The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff. HUTTON V. KNIGHTON. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, as assignee of Robert Adams, an oil and colourman of Leather-lane, to recover possession of certain goods, to the amount of 285/., which had been fraudulently passed to the defendant by a deed of sale, previous to Adams having taken the benefit of the Insolvent Act. A (Ter several witnesses had been examined, Lord DENMAN said it did not appear to him that there was anything fraudulent in the sale which had taken place. The defendant had merely acted as every prudent man would, in obtaining some security for the debt due him. The Jury returned a verdict fur the defendant. COURT OF EXCISE.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Commissioners Sir JOHN MORTLOCK, HOG. B. PAGET, and HART DAVIS, Esq.) The Court was occupied the greater part of the morning in hearing what are technically called called "complaints," which are applications by auctioneers for the return of the duty paid on saes, which, in con sequence •f defective titles the purchasers have refused to complete. Several publicans appeared to answer complaints laid against them, for having in their stock rum under the legal strength. As there is no penalty attached to offences of the above nature, the Court merely con demned the spirit seized. SECONDARIES COURT-(4HIS DAY) MORDAUNT V. RANKIN. This was an action to recover from the defendant, who is a surgeon, residing at Hastings, the sum of 171. 155., for clothes supplied to his son. After evidence had been adduced, the plaintiff was nonsuited. SHERIFF'S COURT-(THIS DAY.) SWIFE V. ABB. This was action brought to recover the sum of 3401. 17s. 7d., for goods supplied to the defendant. It appeared by the evidence that the defendant, who said he was going abroad, applied to the plaintiff, who agreed to supply him with al outfit. The goods were to be forwarde Ito Liverpool, and the defendant was to call and pay the amount, this however he never did, nor did he go abroad but went to Liverpool and got possession of the property. No defence being offered the Jury found for the plaintiff. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) CAUTION TO LICENSED VICTUALLERS.—John Barber, a shabby-look ing fellow, went into the Wheat Sheaf public.house, Clare.market, last night, and requested to .be accommodated with a bed, which was in stantly got ready for him. In the morning when he came duwn stairs the servant.maid requested he would wait until she went to the bed chamber to see that all was right, to which he agreed, and on turning down the bed-clothes she discovered that both the sheets had been taken away. She directly came down again for the purpose of charging the prisoner, but he was off, and on her going in pursuit of him, she saw him running through Lincoln's Inn-fields, and he was given in custody. The prisoner declined saying anything, and was fully committed for trial. Francis James Bethel was charged by John Bolton, who stated that he had yesterday hired the prisoner to remove his goods from Drury_ lane, and after his work was completed, they had some drink together. On his return home he was told by his wifet that the prisoner had stolen his watch. He then went, accompanied by his wife, to the prisoner's lodging, and after telling him his suspicions he took him into custody, when he made a full acknowledgment of his guilt, and gave up the watch. The prisoner was fury committed for trial. MARYLEBONE OFFICE-THIS DAY. A WATERFORD SPREF..—Three stylishly dressed young men, who gave their names John Alfreds, Standage Athelstone, and George Frank lin, the first of whom stated that he was staying at the Tavistock Hotel, and the others that they had no regular place of residence, were brought before Mr. RAwLINsoN, charged with knocking loudly at the cellar door of the Green Man and Still, Oxford-street, and on its being opened by John Jones, the porter, who was awaiting the arrival of some waggons, Alfreds committed an aquatic nuisance which completely saturated his (Jones's) clothes; they then all three forced their way into the coach. office, when one or more of them were guilty cf the same misconduct. The defendants Were ordered to pay 10!. to Jones for the damage, and to find good bail for their more peaceable behaviour. The recognizances were, however, dispensed with, on their making a contribution of a so vereign each to the poor box. WORSHIP' STREET.-(THIS DAY.) A VENTRILOQUIST IN TROUBLE.—John Wolff; Ann, his wife, and Mars Brown, his sister, were charged before Mr. Coon, under the fol lowing circumstances : It appeared from the evidence of two policemen, that they were on duty in Hoxton, at 2 o'clock this morning, when they heard the cry of Police!" apparently proceeding from a Lane near where they were, but there no one whatev er was to be seen. They were about to return, received a simil ar summons from a diametrically oppos ite direction, and on runnin g thi t h er they met with the same oi' goii :v g h when they success as before. The deceptive sounds led them on the same Will-o'-the -Wisp chase in various other directions, and they tad returned to the road breathless and bewildered, when they per. ceived the prisoners, who had all the tim e b een s t an di ng ,rnjoying with obstreporous merriment their fruitless excursions. On desiring them to move on, the prisontr Brown refused to do so, and attempted to clapperclaw them, and on taking her into custody, the other two pri soners interfered, and tried to rescue her. They were accordingly obliged to march the three off to the station-house. Mr. Conn (to the male prisoner)—What are you ?—Prisoner : A pro fessional man, Sir. Mr. Conn—iNhat p r ofession?'—prisoner : A ventriloquist. The " professional man " and his sister were ordered to find bail, and his wife was discharged on payment of a shilling. JOINT STOCK BANKS.—A very great excitement prevails among the Joint Stock Bankers regarding the recent decision, that clerical holders of shares incapacitate them for suing ; and with regard to the nature of the Chancellor of the Exchequer's measure for remedying the evil, which the Right Hon. Gentleman will bring forward this night. Many Direc tors of Country Companies are now in town, and an expecta tion prevails among them that Government will not confine its remedial measures to this single though formidable evil. PIL TI'S PROMENADE CONCERTS. A , ,otha of these concerts took place last night at the roi~J cum. The elcs;tion ;vas nearly identical .with that on which wort:market - 1:0m days tin'4. The quadrilles were beautifully played, as tkov always have bsen under Mr. Pilati conducting, but the overt; " Semiramide," " Freisehutz," " Fra Diavolo," &c., were by no means correctly played. The room was not so well attended as at the last conCeTt. It . evidently not the season of the year for a speculation of this sort. Mr. Pilati must try again when the weather becomes ternuerate. DRURY-LANE. After having played Harriet for twelve nights, a success al!nost without parallel in theatrical history, Mr. Kean last .sstilyed the character of Richard the Third. The cir cumr.tance 01 being t .. h!! part in which his lamented father laid the foundation of f'f""perishable fame, rendered Mr. C. Kean's selection of it for his ;270uLl attempt. peculiarly in ,. In our opinio teresti.ig. He was triumphantly success:... n . it was, on the whole, a better sustained performat:::' th an big Hamlet. Long before the curtain rose the theatre was filled in every part, and an audience as numerous and as brilliant as any we have beheld within its walls, animated with eager and anxious curiosity-to sec how the son would acquit himself in a cha racter with which the father had so identified himself. On C. Kean's entrance he was received with universal, pro- I mgeti, and enthusiastic cheering. He dressed and looked the character ador:::Ny ; but his figure appeared rather too slender—he wants the r ,;:!scular power for which his father was so remarkable—and tin! ;!....ficiency of physical strength was the only defect which was visitilt is his performance. The likeness to his father—in countenance Voice—in action--‘ was striking : still it evidently was not the eitei:t of imitation. but the resemblance natural in a son. e. His conception of the character is faultless; the irriPiirti;cl. tions in execution were merely those arising from the defect, just alluded to. He pourtrayed the "o'er-reaching ambition" of the crook-backed Richard—his proud, overbearing spirit—his systematic hypocrisy—his ruthless cruelty—his fiery and im petuous temper—his dauntless courage—his contempt for danger—his triumphant exultaticn—his coufident and rear.- less gaiety, with tt force and effect which we have never seen equalled by any living actor. lie has beyond all dispute, in the present awe of the stage, made the character his own. This is a character of which the features are so broadly a nd strongly marked, that thero. is little scope for originality of conception. The various peat In it are so well known. that it is unnecessary to say more, tit.:" that Mr. Charles Kenn gave them with full effect, and in a maiLrler very sembling his father's. The line in the opening Sj'ill"l"Y"'"' " The dogs bark at me as I halt by them," much re. was finely pronounced, and marked by that rapid transition front the loud hoarseness in the preceding lines, to a clear, under tone by which his father's acting was so distinguished. In the scene with Henry, the cat-like ferocity with which be glided noiselessly towards his victim--the murderous intent, 50 plainly legible in his look, and the convulsive grasping of his sword, was perfectly frightful. The scene with Lady Anne, apparently, at first sight, so improbable, he played in such a masterly manner—the soft flattering words of the "tongue that could wheedle like the devil"—the " well-painted" repentant expression of the face that could be " framed to all oceal sions"—the serpent-like fascination of the eye, were z ti well assumed, that we almost ceased to wonder that Lady Anne should he deceived ; it could only be equalled by big expression of the artfully-feigned humility with which the tsily usurper refuses the crown, and the conscientious reluctance with which he ultimately accepts it. Mr. C. Kean pourtray s the dissimulating portion of the character with a fidelity which it is impossible to surpass—" The power of acting can no fur ther go." There is a sincerity, a reality, in his dissembling , which sometimes nearly deceives the spectator. Nor much less excellent were the scenes with Buckingham and Stanley. In the former, the dark hinting at, and radual unfolding of , the horrible design resp ec ti n g th e youthful Princes—the cau tious sounding of the Duke's mind—the rage excited at hit' evasive answers—the indignant scorn with which the monarch treats the new-born scruples of the man who had " so long waded with him through a sea of blood"—and the cutting bit terness of the exclamation, Thou troublest me—l'm not the vein :" or in the other—his burst of rage on being informe d that Richmond was upon the seas : " There let him sink I and be the seas on him, White-livered renegade What doth he there ?" The angry suspicion of his enquiry " Where be your forces, then, to beat him back ? Are they not all upon the western shore, Safe conducting the rebels from their ships?" And the rapid, choking wrath with which he exclaims— " The North What do they in the North" When they should serve their Sovereign in the West ?" could not well be / exceeded. Into the scenes in which the nor tial soul of Richard, roused by the news of rebellion, burst ° forth in all its energy and activity, Mr. C. Kean threw whole powers—he strained every nerve; his action was s pirits and graceful ; every attitude was a picture. The h urr ied cc: hemence of his utterance in issuing his warlike diroctil' was as striking, as the exultant, savage ferocity, 11 " which he uttered— " Off with his head.—So much for Buckingham 1" In the tent scene, he displayed great powers of acting; ,`„, shall never forget his ghastly look of agonised terror thrillin g accents of conscience-struck fear : " ' Cola fearful drops stand on my trembling flesh, My blood is chilled—l freeze with horror." The burst of returning fearlessness— " Conscience avaunt ! Richard's himself again 1" was equalled but by the grandeur of the exclamation— " A thousand hearts are swelling in my bosom," Or the fierce undaunted courage of the address to his troops t -4 " Sound trumpet,—sound 1 Upon 'cm Victory sits on our helms." Nothing could be more terribly impressive than his contest with Richmond ; his fighting across the stage upon on c knee, in the manner for which his father was so eele brated,:was loudly applauded ; the manner in which, after hay-, ing received three wounds—" the least of them a dea th' —and his sword has fallen from his hand, he still vainlY,, endeavours to aim a blow at his antagonist, falling in the attentl): --approached to the sublime ; and tine dying look of prott°, and unconquerable defiance with which, in the ago ni " of death, supporting himself upon his arms, he regards tbor victor, as though in the words' of Hazlett, " the phantoms °:„ his despair had a withering power," might afford a study f° a painter. The tragedy has been got up with an attention to scen t i e ,. appointment which reflects credit upon the taste, as upon tow liberality of the management. The scenery is mostly' ocl and the dresses and banners display considerable taste 'l'd magnificence. The last scene in particular is a very gra," and beautiful picture of military " pomp and circumstance. The Queen witnessed the tragedy from her private 1) 0 ' and we are happy to add that no intrusion was made upon 115 privacy. We have equal pleasure in stating, from undoubted autho rity, that her Majesty, with characteristic kindness, personalif commanded the manager to convey to Mr. Kean an c 7c ,: i pression of the delight and approval with which she regard his performance. The accusation of the Times against the Minister 6 this morning, is that they have " patched up the Government+ and kept it on its legs till a frightful gulf has been formed. which was withi n an h our o f sw all ow ing up everything th at appertains to England, every enduring interest with which Ile; power and her prosperity could be identified—how slanderou 9 ,! that preserving the Government has brought about sue" consequences ! But what would have been the result had it not been preserved? The Tories would not have CO'a' manded obedience either in Ireland or Canada; and in' stead of being within an hour of being swallowed up' all "our enduring interests would have perished." We s hould have been plunged in the gulf, from which we have been sav ed by that patching up of the ani rrernent which has kept ° lit t : the Tories. The great crime of the Mi n i s t ers , i n th e e yes the Tories, is, that they are in office. In other things, tit e public now begin to fancy that there is a too striking resgn" blance between both Whigs and Tories. LOVE, A NOVEL, BY LADY CHARLOTTE BUBI ( ` —Gray, who panted to indulge his taste for eternal new novels' should have lived in these days.

But this is evident, that much ° what here painted, whether pictures of manners or of m ora ls, has been witnessed by the obFervant and experienced painter herself in the real world wherein she moves.
